Get rid of him to save money to put towards more important positions. Financially this is a dumb move. Bills need to focus on higher valued issues other than kickers. Carpenter has one good year as a kicker and you want to throw money at him after spending a draft pick on a kicker._________________

The Bills are hardly tight for money.

Besides, we've never been big spenders in free agency and that looks to stay the same this year. Couple depth players who potentially start and retain our own guys. Thats the Whaley approach._________________

No [inappropriate/removed], kind of annoying we sit on our hands 1st day of free agency.

I'm fine with the Bills not making much noise early. Take a few days for the terrible contracts to be made then swoop in with some solid deals and sign a starter or two and some depth. It's a fine strategy that has been a winner for ages._________________

Really????

And do what...overpay for Whitner or D. Ware or whoever else?

What is the point in that? Honestly. Other then making fans temporarily happy it rarely ever solves anything. It just hurts the teams cap situation down the road._________________

He be the same person complaining when the players don't work out and we have no cap room down the road. You can't please everyone. I am okay with what the Bills are doing in FA but I can accept that others are not._________________The night is dark and full of terrors.Sacrifice … is never easy, Davos.

I agree to a point. But the problem is that that strategy hasn't turned us into winners. To stick with that strategy, and make it work for us, we need to keep our own guys too, which we don't. If we're going to continue to lose our own top players, we need to be bigger players in FA._________________

There's a different between letting player walk and players strait up saying that they are walking. Not saying I know all of the details of the Byrd situation but I'm not just going to chalk it up to us being incompetent. I think Byrd had a lot more to do with Byrd not resigning then the FO did._________________
